We’re back On the Clock as teams finalize their rosters. Some key signings include:
🏀 A’ja Wilson’s historic $5 Million 3-yr contract to return to the Las Vegas Aces
🏀 More Aces news: Chennedy Carter signs a training camp deal and Chelsea Gray signs a $3M 3-year deal
🏀 Toronto Tempo signs Temi Fagbenle and Canadian Kiah Nurse
🏀 Alysha Clark and Odyssey Sims sign with the Dallas Wings
There are still some high-wattage free agents that haven’t been signed, including Natasha Cloud, Emma Meesseman, and Tina Charles. Jordan breaks down where we can expect they’ll land. And Jordan weighs in on which teams we should keep an eye on this season (Chicago Sky and Atlanta Dream)...and where the front office vision isn’t quite clear yet (Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever).
Then, LaChina Robinson, one of the all time great women’s hoops analysts and announcers (ESPN, NBC, and the Atlanta Dream), joins the show. She shares thoughts on how Angel Reese will impact the Dream alongside players like Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon, Brionna Jones, and Jordin Canada. Robinson reflects on this year’s draft, the status of the league overall, her Rising Media Stars, and how significant this offseason has been for the WNBA and women's sports generally.
Jordan closes with her win ($$$ contracts) and jumpball (Portland’s expansion team) for the day.
